  • “Insider” sites, which are not easily found on your own

  • The beautiful park on the Maille island

  • The city-hall building with its "Glockenspiel" and astronomical clock - the oldest in Germany!

  • Several stories about Esslingen’s history told in Tom's humorous way

  • There are approximately 10 stops also allowing time for questions and picture taking.
